helm-charts VS Big-Ass-Data-Broker-Opt-Out-Li

The example https://github.com/DataDog/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/datadog/values.yaml they provide list of all variables supported by the agent so should be pretty straight forward to copy paste the stuff that you need into your own values.yaml

Not to mention that, by default, they bill by the whole calendar month for each infrastructure and APM host. Scale your Kubernetes cluster up and then back down? That'll be an extra $18 + $36 per additional node (not $15 + $31 – that's the contract pricing, not the on-demand pricing), even if they were only online for a few days – even if they were only online for thirty seconds. Swap out a node? By default they bill by unique instances, not by number of instances, so they'll bill you for that, too.

If you ask them about it, they'll “happily” put you onto hourly on-demand billing (which seems to fix the unique vs. count thing, too), which is more expensive if you let something run on-demand for a whole month... but isn't the point of an on-demand service that you're not running it for a whole billing period?

Not to mention that their agent logs fairly noisily, and of course its logs count toward your quota! I upgraded a cluster without also upgrading the agent, and didn't notice for about a week that each agent was happily spamming away about some long-deprecated Kubernetes API no longer being available[0]. At $2.55/million log lines and fewer than a million lines logged, this was not a costly mistake, but it's the principle of the thing. Why should an incompatibility in their agent (which their dashboard could specifically alert about, but doesn't!) cost me money?

After that, we have to edit values.yaml file, which will be used as a configuration file used by datadog agent running in the cluster. The fields I overrided(edited) are as below.

These are the commands to install the Datadog agent in your cluster using Helm v3 with the default values. Make sure to copy your API key from Datadog dashboard in the install command.

This kind of thing feels better left to trusted 1st parties, oneself. Link to a list of data broker opt out methods:https://github.com/yaelwrites/Big-Ass-Data-Broker-Opt-Out-Li...

2) there's this list: https://github.com/yaelwrites/Big-Ass-Data-Broker-Opt-Out-Li...

I always go back to this list every year or so to look through the major ones. At least for my relatively unpublic life, I have never gotten readded after the initial time I went through to delete everything. YMMV if you are more prolific with your public persona than I am, but like other comments have said, don't trust those 3rd-party services to do this for you because many use Mechanical Turk type of labor with your personal info to basically walk through this list themselves (i.e. people that might keep your PII for nefarious identity theft purposes).

Here's a list to get started: https://github.com/yaelwrites/Big-Ass-Data-Broker-Opt-Out-Li...

I've had the idea of auto scrubbing yourself from these websites as a side project idea, but never really committed to it

There are probably way too many data aggregators out there to keep track of completely, but theres definitely a few github repos I've seen that keep lists of both the companies and their opt-out procedures (some with automation).

This is one of the better ones I've seen: https://github.com/yaelwrites/Big-Ass-Data-Broker-Opt-Out-Li...

From a purely B2B perspective, the most egregious offender IMHO is Zoominfo largely because of the wide adoption in sales orgs. You can opt-out here: https://www.zoominfo.com/privacy-center/update/remove

It's a pain to do, but it really helps to opt out of data broker lists. I have a reminder to do this once per year, and only the "diff" of my life updates show up (e.g. address reappears because I moved, changed voter registration as a result, etc).
